- Mystical Ninja- 7
- Goemon's great adventure- 5 votes

1. Blast Corps
2. Pokémon Snap
3. Star Wars Episode I: Racer
I know you said no more new game suggestions, but I'd like to know...have you played Rayman 2: The Great Escape?
Also, which games in your collection have you beaten/played to death before?

All time favorite, just never bought a copy. I play both Banjo games every year from the beginning. I've put good time in space station Silicon Valley but I can't say I've fully beaten it
First, I would strongly suggest an Everdrive. I was near a complete set of N64 before finally taking the plunge. Best decision ever...Especially when playing games like Stunt Racer and Sculptor's Cut. I was anal about taking those in and out of my 64 too many times and damaging the board.
My vote:
Mystical Ninja
Blast Corps
Hot Wheels
If Blast Corps is too cliche, play Pokemon Snap. It's my wife's favorite 64 game and you can beat that in one sitting easy.

Eh already did all the buying I'm doing for now... and I still hope for a n64 mini to happen has an even better option. Also Blast Corps is on the list
Fair enough!
Regarding Snap, you should aim to get to the final "secret" area and snap that pic of the elusive Mew!
OP
OP
Any tips I should know on that one? Like how the general unlock system works
Irony is I want to work on Battle For Naboo over Rogue Squadron as I've never gotten around to beating the former(done the latter a few times)
If you want to get more games in the future, remove those tabs. FYI, if you open up the system, you can just remove the entire plastic thing, no drilling needed.
This way you not only get the opportunity to play some cool Japanese exclusives like Bangaioh, Sin & Punishment, Puyo Puyo Sun, Bomberman 64, Densha de Go 64 etc., the games are stupid cheap compared to US and EU releases.

I would go with lesser famous games (third-party games are especially neglected on N64 and mist were never re-released afterwards.
- Wave Race 64 (so ahead of its time with its physics based gameplay and still so fun to play)
- Space Station Silicon Valley ( DMA Design, now Rockstar North, true masterpuece on N64).
- Mystical Ninja (quirky and charming japanese action-adventure game)
- Wave Race 64 (so ahead of its time with its physics based gameplay and still so fun to play)
- Space Station Silicon Valley ( DMA Design, now Rockstar North, true masterpuece on N64).
- Mystical Ninja (quirky and charming japanese action-adventure game)
That's not a Japanese exclusive (it's in OP's collection). Or is there a Japanese Bomberman I'm not familiar with?
Can anyone recommend a good third party controller?, the stick on my current controller isn't bad but I'm interested in both the Retro-bit Tribute 64 and the Brawler 64 but I'm not sure which way to go.
I'm leaning toward the Tribute 64 if only because of the price.
I'm leaning toward the Tribute 64 if only because of the price.
I was considering that as I love the GC stick and figure it would be perfect for Smash and SM64, are they reasonably priced?
*edit* this one?
I'm pretty tempted by this as I'll be able to use my Wavebird!
I don't have one, just was a spontaneous idea that came up when I read your post. I don't have more to add/help with there, sorry^^
That's indeed the case.
Bomberman 64 (US / EU) is known as Baku Bomberman in Japan.
Second attack is Baku Bomberman 2. (And really cheap FYI).
The Japanese 64 is a 2D game with classic mechanics.
I'm not sure about the other two games, but I'm going to recommend you do Space Station Silicon Valley.
That game is an underrated gem on the N64.

Kirby's dream collection and Wii-u Vc respectively.
Also small update, working on the athletic event in mischief Makers then I'm jumping over to Mystical ninja for a bit. Did Pokémon snap's tutorial
I thought I'd jump in too as just last week I got my N64RGB up and running on my 25" Trinitron and I started with SM64 which to my great shame I've never finished. I'm currently 25 or so stars in and I'm surprised by how well the game holds up.
I never had an N64 as a kid so I haven't had a great deal of exposure to the platform, I think I'll follow up SM64 with OOT as despite owning the 3DS remake I never finished that either, willing to take suggestions though!

Hybrid Heaven was a fucking trip from what little I can remember of renting it way back in the day.

OP
So first day update, here's my progress
On Mischief Makers made it to area 4
On Mystical Ninja I beat the first boss at edoe Castle
And on Pokémon snap I unlocked the river(you'll have to take my word on that one, lots of fun surprises like when I accidentally pushed Charmeleon into the lava.
And tomorrow my work week begins so we'll see how things go. Also as said before when Conker's bfd arrives it jumps to the top

1. Hybrid Heaven
2. Body Harvest
3. Blast Corps
Hybrid Heaven was so unique for it's time, even has a high-res mode which runs about as good as you'd expect on an N64.

Why would I need a third copy of Goemon's great adventure? And I have S&P on Vc. I'm also not a sports fan
My bad, I didn't see you had it listed as Goemon's Great Adventure and not Mystical Ninja 2.
What about Wonder Project J?
OP
OP
Probably not, focus of this thread is to get me playing what I have, not buying more(and even then I already have Conkers, Shadowman and Mission impossible on the way)
In that case, Star Fox 64. You should be able to plow through it. After that, Conker or Jet Force Gemini.
OP
OP
And that is Pokémon Snap done!
Now normally I'd just move onto Beating the other two games in this batch but since it arrived it's getting added to the current group(I'll probably start it Monday)
And that is...
Mission impossible?!?! No it's Bad Fur day of course
So current todo list is:

And then there was one
Mischief Makers has been defeated (although my thumbs aren't up for getting all the yellow gems) and the final megazord fight was fun but much easier that the Pheonix gamma ironically
So that just leaves Goemon where I'm up to three teammates and have infiltrated the hot springs base(second dungeon). Conker is not part of the official count. I'm tempted to start up the next round of voting now for a longer time period but thought I'd see if you guys wanted to. Remember keep it to games I have in the op and if they are stricken through I've beaten em. And three suggestions only.
Personally I want to give Battle For Naboo a go but let's see what you guys suggest. Also Conker's is outside of normal voting

OP
Remember I'm doing this in groups of three for flexibility so you each get two more votes. Also I need some kinda goal on racers, does extreme g even have a campaign mode?
1) Bomberman 64
2) Tetrisphere
Both of these represent some of the most interesting and most different entries in their respective franchise, and have some of the best music from the Nintendo 64.
3) Mischief Makers
Because it's flawless.

You obviously haven't read the threadmark or three posts up, vote is open Due to me beating Mischief makers
First group of 3 defeated, time for a new vote
OP
OP
And the batch of Pokémon Snap, Mischief Makers And Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon are officially complete!
I tried my best
Collecting all of those will be for another runthrough as I got all the obvious ones
Which means it's time for the new vote for the next three games for me to work on! Remember to check the list in the OT and if it doesn't have a campaign give me an acheivable end goal. Also I needed some comfort food today so I 100% mumbo's mountain, Treasure Trove Cove And Clankers Cavern in Banjo Kazooie. I'm also working on Conker on my own discretion so no need to vote for that one.
